Wang Lianhua and Xifeng arrived a bit late, after Shen Meng and Xie Jinghao had already finished eating with the kids. They had hesitated to leave home, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
If they were coming to help with the chores, they would have surely left early. But going to someone's house for a meal, for some reason, they just couldn't pick up their feet to head over. They initially didn't want to bring the kids with them, especially since Shen Meng had mentioned ahead of time about making pork trotter soup in the evening. Going by themselves was fine, but bringing the kids along just wasn't appropriate.
